"Mashti Malone’s is an LA institution that’s been serving Persian-style ice cream in the heart of Hollywood (and now Westwood) for almost 40 years. The menu is large, with nearly 50 different flavors served on any given day, but what makes this tiny shop so special are its fragrant flavors that stay on your tongue all afternoon. Think ginger rosewater, saffron, and roasted pistachio-infused heaven. There is an almost perfume-like quality to the ice cream here that, at first, might take some people by surprise, but then you’ll realize you never want another kind of ice cream again." - cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins
"This nearly 40-year-old Iranian ice cream shop inside a two-story stripmall on La Brea is an LA institution and home to some of our favorite ice cream in the city. They serve flavors like saffron, rosewater, and roasted pistachio, and they taste like you’re licking potpourri. But once you get over that surprise, you’ll realize this stuff is incredible. Open till 11:30pm on weekdays, midnight on the weekends." - brant cox
"LA's original Persian ice cream shop, with locations on La Brea, at Griffith Park, and in Westwood, has been serving locals and tourists for decades. The rose-infused ice cream tastes like springtime, while a dash of sour cherry syrup is always available to tame any sweetness." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
"LA's original Persian ice cream shop has been serving locals and tourists for decades, and its rose-infused ice cream still tastes like springtime. Don't forget to add a dash of sour cherry syrup to tame all of the sweetness." - Eater Staff
